SPECIFIC POLYMERS team is made up of scientists and researchers having strong experiences in the field of organic chemistry, polymer and materials synthesis and physico-chemical characterization (NMR, SEC, Infra-Red, DSC, etc.).

Cédric LOUBAT (PhD): Chief Executive Officer, R&D Manager and company founder. Cédric obtained his PhD degree in polymer chemistry (Biodegradable Polymers and Telomers) in 2000 (University of Montpellier). In 2003. he created SPECIFIC POLYMERS with the aim to fill a gap between academic and industrial researches in the field of polymer chemistry. Indeed, most of the scientific innovations generated within academic researchers were often nipped in the bud since these laboratories do not have the abilities to produced intermediate-scales batches to validate proofs of concept.

Gilles BOUTEVIN(PhD): Scientific and Technical Director of SPECIFIC POLYMERS. Gilles obtained his PhD degree in polymer chemistry (Polyurethane resins) in 2001 (University of Montpellier) and he co-founded SPECIFIC POLYMERS with Cédric. Gilles have more than 18 years’ experience in Organic and Polymer chemistry and he is the technical manager of the company.

Dominique TIFFES (DUT degree in General Chemsitry): Head of Analytical Department. Dominique has joined SPECIFIC POLYMERS in 2005 and actively took part on the development SPECIFIC POLYMERS company. With more than 18 years’ experience in Polymer Chemistry and Physico-Chemical Analysis technics, Dominique heads the Analytical Department of SPECIFIC POLYMERS. Dominique is also leading Purchasing, Logistics and Maintenance Services

Christelle Paume: Administrative manager. Before working for SPECIFIC POLYMERS, Christelle was operating manager for 10 Years. Christelle joined the company in 2010. She is in charge of all administrative work within the company and is the administrative responsible for all industrials and collaborative projects.

Alain Graillot (Chemist Engineer-PhD).: Research Engineer – Projects Leader. Alain graduated from ENSCM chemistry school in 2010 and obtained his PhD degree in polymer chemistry (Controlled Radical Polymerization – RAFT) in 2013. He joined SPECIFIC POLYMERS team in 2013. He has more than 7 years’ experience in polymer chemistry. Alain is leading industrial and collaborative R&D projects and he is also in charge of communication.

Camille Chatard (Master II Degree): Research Engineer – Projects Leader. Camille graduated (Master II) from Montpellier University in polymers and material chemistry in 2012 and has joined SPECIFIC POLYMERS company as an intern in 2010 and as employee since 2012. She has more than 6 years’ experience in organic and polymer chemistry. Camille is leading industrial R&D projects.

Quentin Crouzet (Master II Degree): Research Engineer – Catalog-Product and Custom-Synthesis Leader. Quentin graduated (Master II) from Montpellier University in polymers and material chemistry in 2011 and has joined SPECIFIC POLYMERS company as an intern in 2008 and as employee since 2011. He has more than 7 years’ experience in organic and polymer chemistry. Quentin is leading the catalog products and custom-synthesis projects for industrial and academic partners. Quentin is also SPECIFIC POLYMERS HSE Manager.

Agathe Bouvet-Marchand: Chemist Engineer, PhD student – Hybrid Materials. Agathe graduated from ENSCM chemistry school in 2016 and joined SPECIFIC POLYMERS as PhD student the same year. She is making research studies on hybrid materials within SPECIFIC POLYMERS and IM2NP laboratory (PhD director: David Grosso).

Samuel MALBURET:Chemist Engineer. Samuel joined SPECIFIC POLYMERS in 2013 as release student. He is now involved in R&D projects, Catalog Product and Custom-synthesis for industrials and academics partners.
